Marco Rubio was going to secure a deal for President Donald Trump"even if it meant betraying U.S. informants.
The secretary of state made a secret agreement with the president of El Salvador to hand over legally protected U.S. "informants," so the Trump administration could deport hundreds of Venezuelan immigrants to a notorious prison in the country, a new Washington Post report revealed on Sunday.
The backroom deal, officials told the Post, undermined years of work from an ongoing U.S. investigation aimed at apprehending high-ranking members of MS-13, one of the world's most violent gangs, whose acts of brutality have been on display in the U.S. and beyond.
"The deal is a deep betrayal of U.S. law enforcement, whose agents risked their lives to apprehend the gang members," Douglas Farah, a U.S. contractor who worked with federal officials to investigate and help dismantle the MS-13 gang, told the outlet.

Mrs. Baird's?

Yes, it was a Mrs. Baird's Bread plant in Fort Worth. I was there in September 1971. It was my first field assignment since graduating from engineering school. We were installing a couple of baked goods lines in a new building. Now one of these was a large, high production (200 loaves/minute) beard line. Our company supplied the flour handling system, the mixers, dough dividers, dough rounders, the intermediate proofer, the final proofer, oven and most of the conveyors. The other line was a cake line where we provided just the oven and most of the conveyors.
And speaking of rain, while we were in the final stages of getting these two production lines up and running, it started to rain, and we discovered that the building's roof leaked like a sieve. While the contractor was fixing the roof, we spent nearly a week trying to protect all of our wiring and drying out cable ways before we could actually test/start the machinery.
As I said, this was my first field assignment and I was there something like three weeks. The highlight of the trip was that on one of the weekends, Oklahoma was in town to play Texas, and while there was no way that I could've gotten into the game, I did spend the evening before the game in downtown Dallas, which was an experience in itself.
